Interview Process
Recently completed a system design interview with Bloomberg. The system was relatively simple and related to their Bloomberg Terminal. The task involved handling a large number of news articles, where each time a user clicks on an article, a read_event(articleId) is generated. The goal was to design an API called get_most_read_articles to retrieve the most read news articles in recent times. Overall, the experience felt easier compared to typical system design interviews, but the result is still pending.
